The current Coa Community Group structured as a Company Limited by Guarantee is a successor to the Coa Community Group that operated since 1987. The company was established in 2010. The Association was set up in the rural community of townlands centered on the Coa area, with members of the association being drawn from throughout the community
living in this area. The most significant work of the association has been acquiring a site and securing the funds to convert a disused primary school into a purpose built community facility known as Coa Community Hall, this building opened in 1987 and since then has very well used by members of the local community and visitors to the area for a range of social, recreational and educational activities. The group also in recent years secured funds from the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme through the South West Action Group for Rural Development to modernise the Community Hall by adding a fully equipped catering kitchen and activity room.
